To think pate is not a breakfast food?!

Have just had a conversation with DH about breakfast on Christmas day (inspired by the thread on here) as we are spending it at his parents this year. He said they might have pate on toast! He then went on to say he thinks it's weird that when we have it, it's for lunch as it's a breakfast food? Not a problem on Christmas as I can just have jam on my toast but AIBU to think it's not a breakfast food? I told him I would get MN opinions

Definite a lunch/starter food!

Honestly, who cares?

I would have it for breakfast. It does on toast, ergo its breakfast food.

Personally I don't think salmon is breakfast food but people do it.

Love pate on toast and I often have it for breakfast

I can't judge - we have squid and olives for breakfast on Christmas day, along with chocolates from the selection boxes, so am not best placed to comment :-)

All food can be breakfast food :D

It’s all going in the same place, your stomach can’t tell the difference

I had it for breakfast today but I have a newborn so my meals are all to pot and i haven't been able to eat it for the past 9 months

It’s a breakfast food if you eat it for breakfast. Clearly it a breakfast food for your husband’s family.

God I love pate on toast (can’t find the posh “e”)
Bit of onion chutney too. I’d eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner!

I like pate on toast for breakfast, but I hate cereal. I like being weird.

PickAChew · 07/12/2017 20:44

It's a perfect breakfast food.

SoftSheen · 07/12/2017 20:44

My Polish friend had pate for breakfast every day.

LoudBatPerson · 07/12/2017 20:45

We often had pate on toast for breakfast around Christmas when I was a child so I don't think it is that odd. Although it was only at Christmas we would have it for breakfast, the rest of the year it would be later in the day.

I haven't had pate on toast for breakfast for years now but might revive it this year!

That’s our xmas breakfast, pate on toast and Buck’s Fizz.

ColonelJackONeil · 07/12/2017 20:46

I agree with you that it's not a traditional breakfast food but there's no reason why you couldn't have it it's no different than other breakfast meats.

Brokenbutbreathing · 07/12/2017 20:48

Smashing idea! That's Christmas morning sorted! Grin

DP sometimes has pate on toast for breakfast (but he's one of those "continental types" Wink).

Personally I can't stand it - the smell is just too much for me at that time of the day

There's always pate on offer at breakfast when you go on holiday abroad. I've never eaten it here though

curryforbreakfast · 07/12/2017 20:54

It's not not a breakfast food.

Sallystyle · 07/12/2017 20:55

Breakfast food.

Well, I would eat it any time, but I think of it as breakfast food.

NatalieRushman · 07/12/2017 20:56

Anything's a breakfast food if you try hard enough Grin

Says the person who had steak for breakfast because she was REALLY peckish
